Jiffy PRO7 LIGHT, Peat potting mix – 50L bag
Organic Houseplant Potting Soil & Propagation Mix | Lightly Fertilised High-Aeration Cultivation Media
Kickstart your indoor jungle or professional garden setup with this premium, lightly fertilised organic substrate. Formulated for high aeration, low compaction, and rapid capillary action, this versatile growing medium provides the absolute optimal conditions for delicate seedlings, young plants, houseplant propagation, and cuttings.
Unlike cheap, heavy DIY-store potting composts that pack down, waterlog, and turn sensitive houseplant leaves yellow with harsh synthetic nutrients, this professional blend uses a gentle, organic peat base. It is engineered to give you full, precise control over your feeding regime with zero risk of root burn or nutrient shock.
Perfect For Moisture-Sensitive & Delicate Indoor Plants:
This organic light-mix is specifically engineered for plants that require consistent moisture but easily suffer from root rot or nutrient burn in standard heavy, dense composts:
Calathea & Goeppertia (Prayer Plants, Zebra Plants, Pinstripe Plants)
Begonias (Rex, Polka Dot / Maculata, and Cane Begonias)
Ferns (Boston Ferns, Maidenhair Ferns, Bird’s Nest Ferns)
Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum)
Alocasia & Jewel Alocasias (African Mask Plants, Poly, Black Velvet)
Fresh Houseplant Cuttings & Node Propagation
Key Features & Cultivation Benefits:
Organic & Lightly Fertilised Formula: PRO7 Light-Mix provides a mild organic nutrient base (EC ±0.5). This allows you to apply tailored liquid feeds and root stimulants to delicate indoor species and young plants with zero risk of chemical scorch.
Prevents Substrate Compaction & Root Rot: Specially blended with premium perlite and a high-quality mix of white and black peat to maintain a loose, fluffy, highly oxygenated structure. It offers exceptional drainage and capillary action, making it perfect for both hand-watering and automatic irrigation systems while preventing stagnant waterlogging.
Vigorous Rooting & Propagation Success: The natural organic elements stimulate micro-activity as water works through the medium. This produces organic catalysts that encourage explosive root structure development and rapid node striking for fresh cuttings.
Self-Regulating pH and EC: Made from premium 100% natural, clean RHP-certified raw materials, it features a stable, self-regulating organic pH system (5.8) and a low-to-medium initial value for optimal mineral absorption.
Boutique Sizes for Easy Living: Hand-decanted into convenient smaller volumes (1L, 5L, 10L, 20L) that are ideal for flat living and indoor plant shelves with no heavy sacks to store, right up to original 50L and 100L bulk commercial options.
Versatile Applications:
Delicate Houseplant Repotting: The ultimate upgrade for indoor plant enthusiasts looking to transition fussy, sensitive houseplants into a professional, free-draining organic medium.
Seed Germination & Node Cuttings: Provides the ideal structural support and low-salt environment required for starting seeds and striking rare, high-value houseplant cuttings.
Automated & Hydroponic Setups: Highly free-draining properties make it an excellent choice for automatic watering setups, preventing moisture retention issues and mould formation.
How to Use:
Prepare the Substrate: Ready to use straight out of the bag. Simply fill your pots, planters, or propagation trays. Tap the sides to settle the media, but do not press down hard—maintain that high aeration.
Planting: Gently plant your seeds, fresh cuttings, or young rooted plants.
Tailored Feeding: Because it is a light-mix, you have total control. For established houseplants or heavy feeders, apply your preferred organic liquid feed or seaweed extract during watering after the first week as the plant grows.
Water Wisely: Allow the top layers of soil to dry slightly between waterings to mimic natural cycles and encourage deep root exploration.

PRO7 is the new range of potting mixes produced by Jiffy which, through research, have been developed to give the optimal growing conditions for cultivating short cycle and fast-growing plants. That sounds simple, but we all know this involves a huge range of variables. Every crop demands a reliable and consistent substrate composition to ensure optimal yield, plant stability, nutrient supply, water retention and ultimately, plant quality.
PRO7 LIGHT MIX is natural, clean and light; an air enriched peat based potting mix that gives you the control. It sets itself apart from other substrates through its use of the purest raw materials, that conform to the strictest RHP standards from Jiffy’s modern mixing facility in Estonia.
A combination of research and growing expertise, using high quality blends of white and black peat with perlite, resulting in a light open mix typically found in PRO7 quality substrates.
It has a superb air to water relationship, ensuring optimal drainage throughout whilst creating ideal air filled porosity for almost every method of cultivation. All our products use clean certified raw materials free from pest and disease, creating a reliable professional compost not found in some lower grade substrates.
Benefits of PRO7 LIGHTMIX
- •Strong, rapid rooting through low EC value and optimal air to water ratio.•Charged to kickstart microbial life.•Builds Plant strength and resilience.•Low EC, pre-fertilised for one week for a fast start.•Use for all phases of your plant’s growth, rooting, growing and blooming.•Use indoors or outdoors, with hand watering or irrigation systems.•Produced under RHP standards
- Only a minimal amount of nutrients have been added to PRO7 Lightmix - pre-set at an EC of ±0.5, with trace elements and lime; designed to get the vital micro activity going to act as a catalysts that jump starts root development leading to strong, high performing plants. The addition of trace elements and chelates ensures your plants get exactly what they need in their first week and the perfect basis to fertilise according to your own judgement.
- pH is set at 5.8, which is optimum for nutrient availability to the plant; the special blend of peats that we use produces a self-regulating system, minimising large pH swings.
- Giving your precious plants the best start in life with PRO7 LIGHTMIX will not only ensure you have optimum growth and flowering, it will also enable them to better resist disease and attacks from pests, ensuring you have a bumper harvest.
How to use:
- PRO7 Lightmix is a substrate for direct use when you are planting and transplanting flowering plants. Start fertilising after the first week.
- If you are using automated irrigation systems, it is important that the water properly irrigates and drains through all of the substrate; if the substrate becomes too wet it can cause algae and mould to form which can lead to disease.
- We recommend a professional quality nutrient such as VitaLink Plant Start in the propagation phase, VitaLink Earth Grow feed for your vegetive phase and VitaLink Earth Bloom in your flowering phase.
